yes. People are not taking responsibility here. Like the parents who let an emotionally unstable girl go on the internet unsupervised or the fact that she tried to talk to her mom before she commited suicide. Lets focus on the person who said some mean nasty words to her.
She's guilty of being a big bad meanie on the internet. That's about it. No one can be held responsible for someone killing themselves other than the person who actually did the killing.
Besides that, wtf is violating the TOS BS coming into play? I don't see how that's even a crime.
I guess i'm a racist marxist because i'm voting for bob barr, one of the third party candidates. You know, one of the guys that has a chance to actually change something.
There was no autherization required since his credentials worked on it.
If you're given an appartment key and there's a locked washroom in it, and you try your key and you get in there, is that breaking and entering? Because it was in your own appartment you assumed the right to enter it. It's that simple. If we're going to use the examples of rooms and appartments, then that would be the closest one i could think of.
Was there any security to get to that point? No. Was he explicitly given permission or denied access? no. Do i explicitly get permission to visit a website or are they made public? Was the data public? Was it protected by ANY security measures? If not, and it was accessable, even in a round about way, that would make it the fault of the administrators who allowed the data to remain public. I like how in the artcile the principal said there's no blame to be assigned, yet they pressed felony charges against this student who wrote to the principal and told him of the security flaw?
Being given a key to use on your own account and permission to use your own account and finding something that's not supposed to be there is not illegal, especially after you report it. Your argument is flawed and baseless, or would you like to give me an example where someone who had permissions to use a room/area/safe was charged with a felony when he/she found something that wasn't supposed to be there?
That's right, there is no real world comparison because it doesn't happen. Most people would assume that they did the right thing by reporting it.
yes, a super huge complex lock that a 15 year old was able to figure out. So that piece of tape you placed over the door is supposed to keep it shut? Press charges!
Better for everyone because it makes them come out with the game sooner!
What boggles my mind is why sit on the game until some arbitrary release date and why not sell it sooner?
I noticed a crapload of games slated for end of oct/begining of nov. Stuff like Fallout 3, gears of war 2, wow: lich king. Who's great idea was it to flood the market at some seemingly random time?
Sell the damn game when it's ready!
Unless it's some marketing ploy that's sold as a "Fire your employees before the game comes out so you can cash in on it's success even better(TM)".
If something is free (p2p copies are free), then what he's saying is that that copyright holder who sell their content should be competing against that, and they're clearly not.
Or when does it become public domain? Never? Now i don't advocate copyright infringement, but when all the rights are skewed to copyright holders, the public gets shafted. 90 year copyrights equates to a broken system for me. It's not like anyone has the money or time to lobby for the public.
Read away. I know what stepdown is how it's useful when the load is low to save energy. But these new cores definately step up. A 2.4 ghz chip that auto overclocks to 3.4 ghz? Tell me how that's supposed to work when you overclock the default (2.4ghz) speed.
Look at the reference card of a nvidia card, find me on newegg where the manufacturer (of the card, not the chip) is selling a card that's slightly overclocked.
I can find lots of cases for that.
Do you know what Overclocked means? Your anaology is idiotic.
Is it out of spec to push something beyond what a manufacturer sells it at? I doubt it because of the way they're made (all the same, binned differently).
Lets see, motherboards automatically overclock for you, video cards come standard overclocked now a days, this new core will automatically overclock itself. AMD sells a black edition cpu which has an unlocked cpu multiplier for the sole reason of overclocking.
About the only thing you don't clock today in a computer is the storage and the case. Everything else is tweakable/overclockable.
Do you only run your car in gears 1-3 when it has a 4th? Or do you try and get every cent out of the stuff you purchase?
And no, not everyone is running out of spec gear with no2.
Nelphlem cores come standard with, ta da! overclocking built in. They don't have a step down (well they might) technology, but step up. They overclock themselves. So if you try and overclock a cpu made to overclock automatically something tells me that you'll run into problems, like the cpu overclocking itself too much too fast, and over volting itself.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster, but don't worry. Intel is right on it releasing numbers like the new core is 50% faster in games! Exactly what are they comparing it to and are they comparing it at it's default clock speed or automatically overclocked setting?
Either way, those overclocking kids trying to get high numbers/benchmarks are going to burn a whole lot of these out very easily.
You could just have an induction plate on your driveway you park the car over and it'll charge it for ya (assuming it's built to do that). Then how can you forget?
I'd say the biggest advantage so far (at least in the iriver build and i suspect in many others) if for some reason you need to boot the original firmware, it's still on there. Just hold down a button when powering up and the bootloader will load in the original firmware. That way you really can't have complaints about it.
her email was gov_palin@yahoo.com, there were several emails to.gov addresses. She and her staff asked legal sources if personal addresses could be subpoena(ed).
I think it's clear that certain lines were crossed here.
Or are you telling me that her IT staff is so incompetent they forgot how to access her governmental email address through her blackberry so that she recieved emails from her staff on her personal email address?
It's not that hard to NOT get emails on your personal address, and it's not hard to sign up for a yahoo account without stating that you're a elected public official as part of your email addy.
Then she had the account deleted during an ongoing investigation.
Actually some of the pve portions are really neat with warhammer. There's the concept of PQ or public quests, where anyone in the area basically participates in the event (scripted events even, sometimes with voiceacting of sorts). So far the event comes in 3 parts. Usually 2 kill goals and a boss or two. For example the first one in the chaos area is part 1 - kill 50 guards part 2 - release souls (open graves, kill the guards surrounding the graves) part 3 - kill the demon (after collecting the souls from the graves, a unstable demon is summoned)
At the end, everyone who participated gets a score based upon participation (who helped complete the PQ). That is combined with a random roll, and the top X get certain bags of loot, which you choose what you want from it (1 item). The higer the total score, the better bags you get. You get exp for completing the pq as well as killing the mobs. You also get influence points by doing quests like these that you can spend on eq.
From experience this system is kinda fun and different than wow, where doing a low level 5 man instance is really annoying to get the people to do it.
There's still the standard quests and instances. However if you do like pvping whether it's casual or hardcore, you get rewarded through experience and renound ranks.
Very interesting game to say the least, I'll be playing it for a while.
I am in no way slandering this kid, but i found a quick 3 step way for profit!
1) Develop something on company time that can make millions 2) Create science project fair which said innovation/invention, claim that the kid came up with it 3) Profit!

He was able to get access to the sensitive information using his own password and account according to the article and report.
So tell me again what security was circumvented?

You can clearly see the larger black hole in the upper right hand portion and the slightly smaller one in the bottom left hand side.
Instead of a drinking game, you mean a straight way to the emergency room for detox.
Yes, because coming out with a game that's ready in early october would be horribly detrimental compared to early november.
Wait, umm, why? Are you saying it won't be on the shelves anymore?
How about stop playing with the numbers and play to your customers (in a good way, not in that molestation way)
Hallo-giving?
Wrong timing, games would come out after thanksgiving if that was the case.

Honestly, money != morality.

They step themselves up.
